Good idea.

Could your script be tweaked so that it could be put into the 'restore' image by JF or the Dude? It would be great to be able to do a restore from the restore mode, just as one can now do the Nandroid backup.
[G1 Android Development] blackgin:
I don't know, because it is written in python.. Maybe if someone translate it in bash script language..
[G1 Android Development] billc.cn:
well the bigger problem is, blackgin's script is doing exactly what the windows batch file is doing - calling fastboot. I just wonder why we can't use flash_image in recovery?
[G1 Android Development] korndub:
Not sure why you keep saying you can't use flash_image in recovery as I stated on the other thread you CAN use flash_image. I have done it several times
[G1 Android Development] savethechicken:
I have been able to get it to work also in Recovery Mode
[G1 Android Development] Markazeh:
Well ok, but then im wondering, why JF didn't add that function, if it is so simple..
[G1 Android Development] korndub:
he added the console to his recovery image thus providing that ability to do this....
[G1 Android Development] pepperlim:
Blackgin, your script is so easy for noobs like me to use!

Now that I've corrected my foolish folly, its now on to installing Cyanogen's 4.1.999 ROM!

[G1 Android Development] smurphete:
PDFviewer is probably (one of) the most requested features in the builds. So far only Haykuro's H build (from which this HTC app originated from) and Dude's build has this feature.

I have been trying to get this to work myself, but have not been able to do so, if anyone else has any clues on how to get this to work please post (if the dude himself can come show us how that would be great!).

Below are my noob attempt to get this to work.

If the APK is simply installed over, the installation works however it will force close as it references certain HTC libraries.

Copying over the files com.htc.android.pimlib.jar, com.htc.framework.jar and com.htc.resources.apk does not fix the problem.

The platform.xml with working builds have the lines:

<library name="com.android.im.plugin" file="/system/framework/com.android.im.plugin.jar" />

<library name="com.htc.android.pimlib" file="/system/framework/com.htc.android.pimlib.jar" />

Adding these lines does not solve the problem either. It appears that either I'm still missing some files or that there is some way to link the app to these files which I have not been able to recreate or both. Any enlightenment would be great.
[G1 Android Development] knaries2000:
you don't need those libraries. you need to copy over /system/app/FilePicker.apk and /system/lib/libpdfreader.so from the H build. This will allow the pdfreader to run without force crash. But unfortunate that won't work, because there are checks in pdfreader.apk or the library for HTC build. So it will pop up a dialog saying so, and if you hit ok it will uninstall pdfreader.apk. Copying the build.prop does not help. There is a thread in the apps forum with a workaround to this issue but its very inconvenient.

Everythnig works fine for me untill.. I boot from usb go to "install now". And then ...

"A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing.If you have a driver floppy disk,CD,DVD or USB flash drive please insert it now.

Note: If the windows installation media is in the CD/DVD drive, you can safely remove it for this step"

I go to browse and then " No device drivers were found.Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers, and then click OK".

thanks for the reminder.

weird, list disk doesn't list my usb flash drive but lists all my other hard drives. what am i doing wrong?
[Shift Development] thaihugo:
You are probably under Windows XP. Try a vista computer or another computer for this operation.
[Shift Development] thaihugo:
Caid444, you can upgrade your guide with the following info:

To connect the Windows Mobile side to the PC, use the USB tools. If nothing happens, go to settings, Connections then click on "USB to PC". Uncheck the "Enable advanced network functionality and wait at least 5 minutes to see if it connects (you must enable the port in USB tools).

Make sure you are connected to internet on vista side (using wifi for example) to download WMDC.

If WMDC doesn't load, plug in another pocket pc using the USB port, or download it manually.

Also, after this setup, the Snapvue side might turn off and never turn on. In this case, reset under vista side using the HTC tools, and go to the power settings (long click on the battery icon). Disable all the "turn device off after x min".

You're right. it's all good though, i used MBRWIZ to take care of that minor setback. I can boot Windows 7 thru a USB drive now. I'm still on the fence about it, i have Vista Ultimate on my Shift right now. From your experience will Win 7 be drastically better?

[Shift Development] apoparis:
Please, is there anybody who can help me resolve my problem? I tried lots of times by nothing works..I'm reading all these positive comments about win7 and I can't wait to have them on my shift.. I can see the usb, I browse there to the folder I have the drivers but can't install them.

Thank you in advance
[Shift Development] Caid444:
This is for those who've encountered problems.

Start the whole process over again. I didn't make the guide clear enough when I first posted this thread. It's clearer now. The symantec drivers are probably fine, you're probably crashing because windows aero is still enabled, and it is crashing your shift whenever it tries to switch to high res mode. Disable aero.

As for apop, you need to install via the second option, not the first. I got the same error when I selected the first install option when I booted into the windows 7 installer. This method will completely remove vista as the main os and put it in another folder. As a precaution, I recommend backing up personal documents that are stored in any windows sub directory. *word documents and the likes.

Anything outside of your windows directory, or on the main hard drive itself should remain after the install, but I only did this process once with extra stuff on the drive (it stayed).

Back it up, and do a fresh install.

Caid.

[Shift Development] apoparis:
Thanks for your anser Caid. I just don't have an external DVD.. Is it impossible to go through 1st way? I have read that some people managed to do it this way..
[Shift Development] Caid444:
You mean via a usb flash drive? That's how I did it. Follow the steps for the usb flash drive method, but when you boot it on your shift and you have the option to do a custom or express install, do the custom install.

Caid
[Shift Development] Greenarcher707:
wow, that got me convinced. installing windows 7 right now. gonna probably stay up late ha ha
[Shift Development] apoparis:
Yes, I'm using a usb card reader and sd card. I don't have two options (custom/express). Just one "install now"..

P.S. Thanks for your interest in my case.
[Shift Development] Caid444:
ok

After you select "install now" there'll be a license agreement. After that there'll be a choice between two install options. You need to choose the second one.

Can someone explain to me how to set up a cellular internet connection through windows 7? I've got the sim card inside, the phone recognizes it, but I don't know how to get it working through win7, I used control center to enable modem, but still no luck. This is really annoying.

SnapView Turn's and WM7 too ... the screen goes off

Hi, I completed the W7 installation successfully. I even got to conect SnapView with W7 this time. I say this time because with the previous Wm7 guide I wasn't able to do it.

Anyway, now my screen is blank for WM and W7. In fact I have to press the on switch to get the W7 screen back. Once I have W7 working I need to reset Snapview throught the Shift Control Centre to get it going. Finally Snapview / WM comes on. However it lasts on for a few minutes and then the screen is off again. W7 will last for a few minutes more and the same will happen. I then need to press the sliding switch again. The W7 screen will turn on back to normal (the OS doesn't actually turn off but just the screen); however, WM doesn't turn on (in this case it's the screen and WM itself). I then need to repeat the resetting process again.

I did do this:

"

Also, after this setup, the Snapvue side might turn off and not turn on again. In this case, reset under vista side using the HTC tools, and go to the power settings (long click or right click on the battery icon in the bottom right of your desktop). Disable all the "turn device off after x min" settings and make sure to click ok to make the changes effective"

I did it at W7. Am I missing something? Any hints from the experts? Needless to say, everything was working fine with Vista.

Thanks
[Shift Development] Caid444:
one thing I've noticed about windows 7 on the shift is that it doesn't handle it's power saving features well on the shift. You should disable the screen auto off option. If your screen does turn off, you need to move the mouse around at the bottom of the screen to make things show up there, then perhaps open IE or another program that will refresh the screen.

[Shift Development] Greenarcher707:
it's definitely an issue. thanks for the heads up.
[Shift Development] samstables:
I've had the same problem for ages - in Vista, WinXP AND now Win7!!! so I think we can safely assume it's not a Win7 specific problem. I've had it happen with at least 3 different ROMs. In fact the only time it's NOT happened is before I read you had to install WMDC to get the two sides to connect in Win7...

I've obviously reinstalled lots of times with different ROMs and different Win OSs but am surprised that so few people seem to have the same issue!

Any ideas on how to solve would be welcome as it really defeats the idea of the WinMo side for me

BTW,thanks to all for the input for the WinXP & Win7 setup guides :D

Blank screen on WM and W7 - Battery Power??

I disabled from the very beggining (right after completing the W7 installation) the screen auto off option. In fact, all of my power options are set to "never" both for battery and power source usage. I did create a custom power plan. Maybe this is causing the problem. Perhaps I should use one of the default power plans?

Accidentally, I ran out of battery power all day yesterday so aside from the blank screen issue, I wasn't able to use my Shift all day.

I wen't home yesterday night and plugged in my shift to the power pack / adapter for battery charging purposes. I then turned on the Shift using the sliding switch.

As usual, W7 came on and so WM. However, the screen didn't go blank for both OS!! In other words, the Shift worked perfectly while it was connected to the power outlet. I was able to change OS easily with out any problems.

I then went to bed late last night and left the Shift charging itself and connected to the power outlet.

Now that I'm at work, I tried to use my shift and again the same problem. Is it a WM7 power setting that's causing the blank screen issue on both OS? In fact, I even think that WM stops working aside from the blank screen.

Comments are very much welcome.

Thanks.
[Shift Development] BallGor:
IMPORTANT When you've finished installing you drivers but still need to restart to take effect, go to your display settings (right click the desktop) and select a non aero theme. save settings after that. Windows 7 Basic is a non aero theme and it looks good. If you leave Aero enabled, your shift will blue screen of death crash when it boots into high res mode.

Can you clarify how can I locate the "non aero" mode? My shift keeps going back to the Blue screen. When I press Fn8 to reboot at low resolution, i still can not locate the "non aero" button.
[Shift Development] thaihugo:
you can also set the service uxsms to manual.

in services.
[Shift Development] Caid444:
Right click your desktop, select personalize. In there you'll have a list of 7 aero themes, under those you'll find some basic and high contrast themes. Choose any one of those themes, save the changes, and aero is disabled.

Office 07 and Win 7

Anyone been able to install office in Win 7 yet...mine just does not work, no matter what. Freezes on install splash...hopeless.
[Shift Development] BallGor:
Thank you very much. I have basically installed the Windows 7. The only problem so far is that when I hit the resolution changer button, the screen would go blue and then the Shift would hang and reboot. Did I do anything wrong?
[Shift Development] Caid444:
Nope, you didn't do anything wrong. This is normal in fact. As long as an aero theme is active in Windows 7 on the shift, it will blue screen and restart when you adjust the resolution. If you've already gotten to the point where it just crashes all the time after start up, it's because aero is active. You need to press and hold the FN key and press the F8 key during start up to open the windows boot options screen. Once there, choose low res mode. Let it all start up, then follow the steps I mentioned a couple posts back to choose a non aero theme (you quoted me on the exact post). You may also need to disable transparency, but I'm not completely sure about that. For now, select a basic theme (not one of the 7 aero themese), and let it ajust.

After that, it should allow you to switch between low and high res again with no blue screens.

Touch Screen Not Working

I've followed the steps and have everything (ShagCtrl, BT, WiFi, etc.) working great....except the touch screen. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm loving WM7 on the Shift, but it won't be worth it to me if I can't get the touch screen going. Thanks!:confused:

Touch Screen Not Working Pt.2

Having spent most of my day trying to get this to work, I've re-read this thread several times. The only thing I can find that I have different is that I'm using the Windows 7 RC. Can anyone confirm that their touch screen is working wit the RC?
[Shift Development] pctan1584:
I have installed Office 2007 and never had problems. all programs working fine, including 3G on WIN7 side
[Shift Development] samstables:
Yep. I'm using RC and it's fine. I got everything working on my second attempt (first time, the EC driver didn't install, so nothing else worked after it...). I did do a restart everytime it asked to, as other threads had mentioned this was important. It makes for a long and tedious process, but worth it when it all works on Win7 - it's SO much faster than Vista.

I've still not sorted is the SD drive though - I've only got 8GB SDHC cards and it just won't even see them. I had the same problem in WinXP before so wonder if I have a dodgy SD slot... although it worked fine under Vista. The drivers think they're fine but clearly aren't as it won't see any SDHC cards :(

Also disappointed that screen rotation works in WinXP but not Win7
[Shift Development] FOOFTR:
I finally got it to install - had to extract the files from my Office DVD and copy them to C drive...then install from the msi, not setup...took 3 hours to install...something not right with that! Anyway, all going now.

I do find that I am having to remove the battery a lot under Win7 to get out of the eternal black screen! Will change the power settings to never turn screen off and see what happens.

So far, the biggest improvements I see is with the resolution changer and shagcntl being available (I could never get the res changer posted somewhere else here working in XP Tab). I also think Win7 is better with the battery usage. Other than that Win XP Tablet is a bit quicker than Win7 and had no issues with installing Office. All going well I will keep Win7 on here but it's nice to know XP Tablet works so well.

[Shift Development] Caid444:
Just a reminder to everyone to read the guide carefully. When installing drivers, you must right click the setup.exe, or install.exe file for the drivers, go to properties, click the compatibility tab, and then run under vista compatibility mode. Also select the box that says, (run in administrator mode). Save those changes, and run it again.

These driver installation packages come written for vista, not win7. Windows 7 can handle them, but it must know to run them the right way.

THIS MUST BE DONE FOR EVERY DRIVER FILE YOU INSTALL.

Please reread the guide, and try again. Don't skip steps, don't skim read (read quickly) Pay attention to the details of the guide, without the little things, this process will fail.

I am trying to fix the BSOD for Windows 7 on HTC, you will get dead when you are 1024x600 with AERO also when running Media Center on any resolution, with and without AERO. Run Media Center in fullscreen in any way and BSOD.

return: It looks like Windows 7 isn't ready for Shift, and I returned on Windows Vista SP2 x86 and it's running nice and no problem at all, but I like what Microsoft did for TouchScreen experience in Windows 7, it can make a difference between mouse, touch and pen, Vista can't between all of that, but still forced to give up W7 in Shift... for now
[Shift Development] Caid444:
This is most likely due to an imcompatibility with the drivers of our shifts, and the windows 7 aero, and the like. If I had to guess, I'd say that current drivers try to make the shift do something without the necessary limitations to memory usage. This would mean that, when you switch the resolution to a higher one, it causes the drivers to access too much memory.

This is however, just a guess.

If I'm anywhere in the right ballpark of an idea, the proper fix would involve creating limitations and boundaries with the memory usage of aero and any other windows applications which are causing BSOD's.

At any rate, it's been a while since I've seen a bsod. I've used windows vista on my laptop for quite a while (about 1.5 years) and never experienced a full system crash.

One step back for a few steps forward, I guess. ;)

I would check if on the off chance you are running AREO in the native mode but the games themselves try and start in a 1024x768 resolution, which would BSOD Win7 due to the driver issue.

Did you actually select the file itself so that its properties are also showing down below also, then try going to the compatibility mode?
